3.5.5 Conversion
The CO2-tool contains three types of energy conversion processes for the production
of electricity and/or heat.The data entry boxes for these conversion types are shown
in Figure 3 - 17, Figure 3 - 18 and Figure 3 - 19. The most important part of this box
is the data about the outflow energy. In these boxes, the user should specify the yield
of electricity in MWh per ton input and/or useful heat in GJ per year. Another
important input field is the inflow materials where the user should enter the amount of
feedstock in tons that is converted in a year. Based on these inputs electrical and/or
thermal efficiency of the installation will be calculated and shown in the corresponding
grey cells. In order to calculate the Carnot efficiency that is required for the
determination of the allocation factor, the user should also specify the absolute
temperature Th in °C of the useful heat at the point of delivery. If no useful heat is
produced, this cell should be zero.
